One Week

In one week I will be getting ready to go to the temple to marry Brent LeGrand Adamson. I will be sealed to the perfect man for me on November 24th! Wow, my whole life I have waited to get married and the time is just about here. And I am so gratefully for a loving Heavenly Father that prepared this man for me and me for him. That He didn't give me my way all those times in the past when I just knew that so and so and me should be together. That He made me be patient. I'm so appreciatitive for Brent in my life. I was reading past blogs last night and read some that talked about Brent as my future boyfriend. That is so funny. He isn't the first person I've said that about but it's still pretty funny.

When we first said I love you on August 7th. I was a little skeptical. Could I love him even after such a short period of time. But I did. And I love him even more now. And I'm sure in 50 years I'll look back and say the same thing. This is the man I want to grow old with. This is the man that has taught me to love another so unconditionally, so freely. I have no need to worry if he will hurt me or if it won't work because I know he loves me the same unconditional way. And we are not under any "love haze" thinking that we won't have disagreements. We already have them. But we do know how to communicate with the other person. We have so much to learn but I can't wait to learn it with him.

I love him. I love him because he always remains calm, even when I try to push him. I love him because he makes me want to be happy. I don't believe others can make you happy but I am happy with him. I love him because he gives me a stronger desire to make it the Celestial Kingdom, there is no way I want to spend eternity without him. I love him because most of the time he lets me have it my way....not always, but most of the time. I love him because he hangs out with my nieces and nephews with me and watches Beauty and the Beast instead of doing the gazillion other things he might rather be doing. I love him because he knows how important my family is to me and he is patient with them and me. I love him because he makes me laugh. I hate that others don't get to share in our humor. We laugh all the time. He's just so quiet when others are around. I believe he is becoming more comfortable around my family so maybe they will get to experience his humor soon. I love him because he puts me first in his life. I love him for loving me even when I am being the most irrational person in the world. I love him because when I am crying he doesn't really say anything, he is just there, with his arm around me. I love him because he calms my fears. With life and all it's uncertainties and me being a worry, he soothes me. I love him because he is bettering himself so that he can take care of me and our future kids. And I so look forward to having these little tykes around (but not anytime soon :)).
I could keep going. But I won't. Because it even makes me gag a little but it's true! I love him!
